Nuclear power, too many negatives

As an environmentalist and a member of the Green Party, I am writing today to suggest that recent headlines show we should not allow in any way the further increase of nuclear power and/or nuclear proliferation.

MSN headline page recently said that at Fukushima power plant, radiation readings show levels there that now are “unimaginable” at least at the one reactor. These levels are so high that unless we are lucky, as Patton said once, when you hug your grandkids, they will be glowing.

No country, even one with good intentions, can control nuclear power once it is out of the box. The Soviets showed this at Chernobyl, we showed this at Three Mile Island, and now the Japanese. Sooner or later, God will go back and forth upon the Earth, a la Job.

Whatever we do about immigration, whatever we do about health care, etc., we should stop the proliferation of nuclear or there won’t be any future for the human race, at least on this planet.

I would encourage all citizens to join and support the Green Party, Greenpeace and any other organization opposed to the proliferation of nuclear power and nuclear in general.
